When they're hooves are too hard it's usually from them being kept on hard dry ground or concrete if they're kept in a pasture they're hooves won't get hard like that and the only way to cut them when they're hard like that is to torch them first

It must have been a hell of a gamble when the first farrier who tried this said: "Let's blow torch that hoof and see where we end up". Nah, like most new procedures I guess they probably must have tested it on a dead horse

That had to be about 20 weeks of growth! I was really surprised how good the hoof looked though afterwards. The only real distortion I saw was a slight "jam" in the lateral hairline. Hoof rings were evenly spaced from what I could see and looked like he might be a little flat footed. Good structural integrity on those appy hooves! Impressive. I deal with rock hard hooves since I live in an arid climate. Didn't know using a torch could soften them up. Might try at some point. Great job!

Quick question about hoof care. Can you soak hooves in warm water first before trying to clip and style the hooves for arid climates? I have read a long ways back that it helped as long as you do two a day to prevent you and your horse from tiring out, plus it helps build trust if you do it often. Another question. How many times is recommended for caring for your horse hooves? Clip and shoe them every few weeks? I just had enough practice from a childhood of horseback riding and a Girl Scouts field trip to know to clean away pebbles, dirt and rocks from hooves after a ride. ^^
